Answer:

In conclusion, we have:

17 protons

18 electrons

20 neutrons

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

The atomic number indicates the number of protons that is equal to the number of electrons.

In this case, the number of protons is equal to 17.

The number of electrons is equal to 17.

To calculate the number of neutrons, we subtract the mass:

37-17 = 20.

Since the mass is equal to the number of neutrons plus that of protons.

In this case, the number of neutrons is 20.

As it has a charge -1, we add one more electron.

In conclusion, we have:

17 protons

18 electrons

20 neutrons

If the mrna is damaged, it directly interferes with the ability of a animal cell to do which of the following?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Proteins.

Explanation:

If the mRNA is damaged, it directly interferes with the ability of producing proteins in animal cell because mRNA is responsible for carrying the protein blueprint from a cell's DNA to its ribosomes which are considered as the machines of the cell that produces proteins for the cell. These messenger RNA has the information about what type of proteins are required to produced for the cell. So if mRNA is damaged, the ribosomes are unable to produce proteins for the cell.

Which is a component of a phospholipid?
krek1111 [17]
Phospholipids are made up of fatty acids, glycerol, and phosphate.

If you're referring to the structure of a phospholipid, they are composed of a water-loving (hydrophilic) head and a water-fearing (hydrophobic) tail. The tail is made up of long chains of hydrogen and carbon molecules as well.

<u>Distress vocalizations</u> can help this rescue dog and firefighters find fearful people and pets stuck in buildings that are on fire

Distress vocalizations are sounds produced in the presence of painful, stressful, or threatening stimuli.

Mammalian vocalizations are the product of respiratory and laryngeal activities under the direct control of brain stem cranial and spinal motor neurons and modulated by higher brain processes.

Vocalizations offer the further promise of unique informational content about the emotional state of the subject. There is evidence that the form, contexts, and neural processes which modulate distress vocalizations are highly conserved between species.
